It sounds like there was a school officer on duty but I've read that he and a responding officer approached the kid and he surrendered so maybe he waited for backup.
How many seconds to become aware a situation is happening? How many more to determine exactly where it is happening?
Rushing to the scene, how many panicked kids in the way? What is the correct action to take in moving these kids to safety?
Training, does one run full tilt to the incident or does one approach in a more controlled manner?
I’ve seen school cops move in to break up serious fights where presumably getting kids to safety or being fired upon was not a concern. Five minutes ain’t bad.
